I grabbed puredata 0.43.4 last night on my laptop, to play around with some GEM stuff..
But now, everytime I want to create a GEM window, i get the following error;
GEM: failed to init GLEW: your system only supports openGL-1.0
Google tells me intel's drivers have and will never support more than opengl 1.4.
So this problem must have always existed? Still this is the first time I have seen it...
Is it possible that this check only recently got introduced? Is there a way around it? If i promise to only use older openGL features, can I then still use it? :)

well, openGL-1.4 is more than openGL-1.0. and openGL-1.4 should be sufficient (unless you want shaders and the like)
So this problem must have always existed?
yes, most likely.

what does glewinfo tell you?

what's the problem you are having? (an error message is not a problem by itself; it only tells you that there might be a real problem)
Gem should be able to run with older openGL versions (that's why we are using GLEW in the first place), probably even with 1.0

I have pd-extended nightly snapshot 0.43.4 with latest git gem (not the one included in pdX package), and intel graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 3000 I think), and it works.
Maybe you use a stable debian or lts ubuntu, and your drivers are way old ?
I have: mesa 9.0, glew 1.8.0, xf86-video-intel 2.20.12 (one week old).
glewinfo reports OK to everything up to GL_VERSION_4_0.
Also have a look at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ :
2012-02-23: Intel® 12.02 graphics package released, featuring new release versioning scheme, stable Intel Ivy Bridge support, OpenGL 3.0 and GLSL 1.30 compatibility and stability fixes.
Hope that helps,
